INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN CLARK COUNTY, INDIANA,
THE CITY OF JEFFERSONVILLE,
THE CIVIL TOWN OF CLARKSVILLE,
THE CITY OF CHARLESTOWN, THE TOWN OF SELLERSBURG,
THE TOWN OF BORDEN AND THE TOWN OF UTICA
REGARDING DISTRIBUTION OF
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCOME TAX FUNDS
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between Clark County, Indiana (hereinafter
referred to as the "County"); the City of Jeffersonville ("Jeffersonville"); the Civil Town of
Clarksville ("Clarksville"); the City of Charlestown ("Charlestown"); the Town of Sellersburg
("Sellersburg"); the Town of Borden("Borden"); and, the Town of Utica("Utica").
Section 1. Duration and Termination
This Interlocal Agreement ("Agreement") shall become effective upon approval of the
County, Jeffersonville, Clarksville, Charlestown, Sellersburg, Borden, and Utica. This
agreement shall remain in effect for calendar years 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, subject to the
terms herein.
Section 2. Purpose.
The purpose of this agreement is to provide for the distribution of Economic
Development Income Tax ("EDIT") funds during 2019, 2020, and 2021 to lessen the impact on
the County of the Department of Local Government Finance's (DLGF) interpretation of House
Enrolled Act 1489, (P.L. 199-2018).
Section 3. Manner of Financing, Staffing, and Supplying the Joint Undertaking of
this Interlocal Agreement.
a. The County has imposed an Economic Development Income Tax for Clark County,
Indiana and receives funds generated by the tax ("EDIT funds") from the State of
Indiana, making it the lead local agency for EDIT funds.
b. Each month, based on a formula received from the Department of Local Government
Finance ("DLGF"), the County distributes a share of EDIT funds to each appropriate
taxing unit in Clark County, Indiana("distributive share"), including to itself
c. In 2017, to assist Clark County in its financial situation, House Enrolled Act 1489 ("HEA
1489") was enacted.
d. Based on HEA 1489, Clark County was anticipating a certain distributive share of EDIT
funds.
e. The DLGF has interpreted HEA 1489 in a manner that reduces the County's anticipated
distributive share of EDIT funds in 2019, 2020, and 2021.
f The municipalities adopting this Agreement wish to assist the County in making up the
anticipated shortfall in its distributive share of EDIT funds in 2019, 2020, and 2021.
g. For calendar years 2019, 2020, and 2021 only, each municipality that adopts this
Interlocal Agreement agrees that the County shall withhold from the respective
municipality's distributive share of EDIT funds for the year an amount determined by
taking the expected County shortfall times that municipality's proportion of EDIT funds
(as determined by the DLGF) that the municipality would have received for the year. (By
way of example only, if, because of the DLGF's interpretation of HB 1489, Clark County
receives $400,000 less in EDIT funds in 2019 than it otherwise would have, and
Jeffersonville's 2019 share of EDIT funds would have been 40%, then the County will
withhold 40% of$400,000 from Jeffersonville's EDIT funds).
h. To determine the County's expected shortfall each year of this Agreement, the
municipalities adopting this Agreement shall provide to the County Auditor by December
1 each year what they jointly believe the County's expected shortfall in its distributive
share of EDIT funds will be in the following year ("proposed shortfall number"). The
County Auditor will then have no more than ten (10) working days to reject the proposed
shortfall number by providing written notification to the respective financial officer of
each municipality. If the County Auditor does not provide such timely notice, then the
proposed shortfall number shall be deemed accepted and apply to the following year. If
the County Auditor does provide timely notice of rejection of the proposed shortfall
number, then the respective financial officers of each municipality and the County
Auditor shall negotiate the shortfall number.
i. In the event that any municipality or municipalities identified hereinabove fails to
approve this Agreement by adoption of a resolution, the shortfall assigned to that
municipality shall be proportionally divided among and withheld from the distributive
shares of the municipalities that approve this Agreement by resolution in a manner that
makes the County whole for its EDIT distribution shortfall.
j. Upon elimination of the effect of the DLGF's interpretation of HEA 1489, through
enactment of corrective legislation or otherwise, then the provisions of Section 3(g) and
Section 3(h) shall automatically terminate and no longer apply.
k. If during the term of Agreement, the County adopts any new taxes, ordinances, or
resolutions that will adversely affect the municipalities' distributive shares or distribution
amounts of LIT EDIT, then Section 3(g) and Section 3(h) shall immediately and
automatically terminate, and the County shall repay each municipality that is a party to
this Agreement, any amounts of EDIT funds withheld during prior years from the
affected municipalities under Section 3(g) and Section 3(h).
1. Pursuant to IC 36-1-7-4(a), the Clark County Auditor is hereby delegated the duty to
receive, disburse, and account for all monies of this joint undertaking.
Section 4. No Liability Incurred by Operation of This Agreement.
Nothing in the performance of this Agreement shall impose any liability for claims
against the Town or the County except among them as expressly set forth herein.
Section 5. Indemnity.
Each party to this Agreement will be responsible for its own actions under this agreement
and shall not be liable for any civil liability that may arise from the actions of the other parties.
Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other parties for civil liability that may arise
from that party's acts or omissions.
Section 6. Administration of Interlocal Agreement.
The interlocal agreement shall be administered by the Clark County Auditor or their
respective designees. These persons shall be authorized to perform all duties and carry out all
functions as are necessary to carry out this Agreement.
Section 7. Acquiring, Holding, and Disposing of Property. No acquisition, holding,
or disposal of property is anticipated to be required in the performance of this Agreement.
Section 8. Miscellaneous.
By entering into this Agreement, the parties do not intend to create any obligations,
express or implied, other than those expressly set out herein. This Agreement shall not create any
rights in any person or entity that is not a signatory hereto.
